Struggling to keep up with the Moons, Sabbats and Retrogrades?
I’ve got you covered with this incredible desktop planner for 2023.
I love to utilise the energy of the new moon to cleanse my house for a fresh start each lunar month.
New Moon Cleansing Ritual:
Use a small cauldron or heatproof ceramic dish. Add sand to the base and place a lit charcoal disc on top. Light the disc carefully with tongs over an open flame.
Add dried herbs or resin on top of the charcoal disc.
I recommend frankincense or myrhh resins and for dried herbs I love to use a blend of rosemary, juniper and cinnamon.Open a few of your doors and windows for adequate ventilation. Starting at your front door, walk with the smoking cauldron/dish throughout your home in a clockwise direction.
I love to draw a protective sigil or pentagram with the smoke over the beds, and entrance doors.
Once the house is done, you can leave the cauldron on a heatproof surface in the centre of the home. Usually on the kitchen table. You may need to add more resin/herbs after the others have burned through.
If you wish to perform a New Moon Ritual I suggest doing so within the 12 hours AFTER the New Moon hits exact in your time zone to take the best advantage of it’s fresh and growing energy.
